A '''Flaptack''' is a type of enemy in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They look like oversized blue birds with a yellow spike on their head. When they spot [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], they will float around them for a while. After a few seconds, it will try to stab them with its spike on its head. If it misses, it will be stuck on the ground, defenseless. They can be defeated while still in the air by backflipping and [[Spin]]ning into them. They give three [[Star Bit]]s when spun and a [[coin]] when jumped on. These enemies can also destroy [[Cloud Mario]] or Cloud Luigi's clouds with its spike. They appear in early galaxies such as the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]] and [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], but they also appear in later galaxies such as the [[Flash Black Galaxy]].
